***Refreshingly decent. Geiger's unfortunately still at the helm but it looks like MAYBE he's learnt a lesson from last year in lyrics. Trop drops in guitar driven songs can go off a cliff, but Mendes mostly makes it work with his enthusiasm. There's a raw edge of maturity to his voice in this track that I've not seen previously. 3.3

****It's not as lazy as "Treat You Better" or "Mercy", so "Stitches" part 4 has ended up being my favourite "Stitches". The guitar seems to be more appealing to my ears and his voice has noticeably improved. Pre-chorus and chorus are nice enough. I'm annoyed that it has charted for such a long time like his previous hits but it could be worse.

Edit: Okay I really dig the pre-chorus and chorus and I have to say I'm enjoying it more with time. I've been too harsh on this in the past I must admit.Last edited: 11.01.2018 05:36
